Services: Cast House

Uniquely positioned…

to provide high quality, specialty alloys in log and billet form. Capable of meeting minimum order quantities and in
short lead-times.

Signature Aluminum Canada Inc. produces a large selection of standard and specialized aluminum alloy billets and logs, which can be produced in various diameters and lengths upon request. Each billet is cast using state-of-the-art in-line degassing, filtration, and mold technology. Alloy chemistry is tailored to offer our customers the best combination of extrudability, surface finish, and mechanical properties; all attributes which carry through to the bottom line.

Specially developed homogenizing and cooling practices produce a starting stock that performs well under a wide range of preheating and extruding conditions. Quality extrusions obviously start with the highest quality aluminum alloys. Experienced and dedicated people, along with the most modern technologies, come together at Signature Aluminum to produce products of the highest quality. Signature Aluminum Canada, Inc.'s manufacturing process utilizes the latest in casting technologies:

If you're looking for a high quality source for your log and billet needs, look no further than Signature Aluminum Canada, Inc.

1 Composition in percent maximum unless shown as a range or a minimum.
2 The source of this table is aluminum standards and data, published by the aluminum association biannually, and the "registration record of aluminum association designations and chemical composition limits for wrought aluminum alloys," the aluminum association.
3 Analyses is required for elements other than aluminum for which specific limits are shown. Analysis for other elements is made when their presence is suspected to be, or in the course of routine analysis is indicated to be, in excess of the specified limit.
4 The aluminum content for unalloyed aluminum not made by a refining process is the difference between 100% and the sum of all other metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010% or more, each expressed to the second decimal before determining the sum.
5 Bus conductors.
6 Boron 0.06% maximum.
7 Electric conductors. Formerly designated ec.
8 Vanadium plus titanium 0.02% maximum; boron 0.05% maximum; gallium 0.03%
